Body & Paintwork

The bodywork on this car is 100% original paintwork, with zero repairs or touch up’s!

The bodywork is in great shape, and the red paintwork still has a great shine with no dull areas.
This is surely one of the best surviving original examples in the country and a superb investment opportunity.

All glass and badges are in superb order.
The wheels have just been professionally diamond cut to original finish and look simply fantastic.

The car has zero corrosion, and the underside is also in really superb condition.

Interior & Trim

As per the rest of the vehicle, the interior is in great order throughout.

The fantastic Recao seats are without any signs of wear, and the bolsters are still extremely firm.
All instruments and dials are fully functional, and all look new without the usual ‘wear and tear’.

All trims are superb, headlining is perfect, and the sunroof is nice and smooth.
A very hard car to fault indeed.

Engine

Of course, this engine runs beautifully.
Very quiet engine, which has no running issues at all.

With such low mileage, the engine is barely ‘broken in’ and will give many many years of handsome motoring.

On a 200 mile trip the car performed faultlessly, and pulls nicely through the entire rev range.
No smoking or tapping at all, simply an absolute pleasure to drive.

Running Gear

The running gear on this car is without fault.

All suspension legs, anti roll bars etc are still in original paint finish and in super condition.
Having just had a full service, the car has been fully checked over, all brakes stripped and re-assembled and bushes/balljoints checked.

The underside of this car, and all running gear is superb.
